Their Future Starts Now. “Your child is seven times more likely to attend college now that he or she has a college savings account in his or her name.” * Kate Marshall, Nevada State Treasurer
The Nevada College Kick Start program is helping to create a college-bound culture by giving Nevada public school kindergarten students a college savings account with an initial deposit of $50. This program is free to all participants, so please help us kick college dreams into high gear by asking your child’s teacher about the program and how you can work together to help your child succeed. Visit Nevadas529.com to open an SSgA Upromise 529 college savings plan of your own for as little as $15.
